Our house flirts with the river as you only have cross the quay to be on its banks and tease the gudgeon swimming by. Painters, photographers and nature lovers alike will delight in the changing reflections of mirrored water. We are on the hiking trail leading to Chenonceau Chateau that you can also reach by going up the river in a canoe or other type of boat.
